Alam’s arrest followed his appearance before the ED in Ranchi for the second consecutive day as part of a money laundering investigation. Notably, he had been interrogated by the ED for approximately 10 hours the previous day.
Sanjiv Lal, Alam’s personal secretary, and Jahangir Alam, the domestic help, were apprehended after raids yielded the substantial cash haul from their premises in Ranchi. Steel trunks brimming with cash were recovered from Alamgir Alam’s residence on Monday night.
After an overnight interrogation by the ED, both individuals were taken into custody on Tuesday. Subsequently, they were presented before a special PMLA court and remanded to ED custody for six days under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act ( PMLA ).
